Klee (f**k fish, all my homies hate fish)
Element: Pyro
Weapon: Catalyst
Pros:
| Extremely consistent pyro proc | E has 2 charges | Low Q CD |
|---|---|---|
| Average energy cost | Has Pyro DMG% as hidden stat | Big AoE |
| Easy to gear/play | C2 bumps her DMG insanely |
Cons:
| E can miss first bounce | Mines are bugged ATM | Q has random targeting |
|---|---|---|
| Charged attack can be whiffed | Hydro Abyss Mage is bane of her existence | Pyro slime is the bane of her existence |
PSA #1: Klee’s pretty solid all around, with her only issue being the chance of whiffing/targeting. Other than hydro abyss mage (will be address below), she rolls everything else in both overworld and abyss. Her team should be centered around grouping and overall AoE CC
Who to take (alternatives explained below!):
- Succs all the enemies so Klee can nuke them
- Poops out energy orbs, guaranteeing 100% uptime on Klee Q
- Currently doesn’t pick up mines, but still pairs well with Klee E
- CAN REPLACE WITH SUCROSE OR ANEMO TRAVELER AS THE MAIN FOCUS IS JUST GROUPING FOR KLEE’S E/CHARGED ATTACK
- Consistent vaporize proc’s help absolutely obliterate everything
- Mona’s E synergizes extremely well with Klee E, as enemies will be taunted
- Mona’s Q provides much appreciated mass AoE CC + lethal damage
- CAN REPLACE WITH CHONGYUN/FISHCL/XINGQIU DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU NEED. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING CHONG THOUGH IF YOU DON’T HAVE MONA/DEALING WITH HYDRO SHIELDS + MELT WORKS JUST AS WELL
- Provides pyro resonance which is a free ATK buff
- Benny’s Q healing is nice when you inevitably get slapped for spamming charged attacks as Klee
- Benny’s Q ATK buff lets you hit some CRAZY numbers with Klee
- CAN REPLACE WITH BARBARA OR QIQI IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON TAKING CHONGYUN
PSA #2: The testers who help me, which whaled for C4-C6 Klee, have said they much prefer Venti/Mona/Bennett over most team comps in Abyss for consistent pushes post Abyss 10. Please be aware that they are WHALERS, and that having 5-star teams are not necessary to turn Klee (or any character) into a god
Great flex slot alternatives:
- Sucrose – EM mule which is essential for boosting vaporize/melt reaction damage for Klee. Can also run TTDS for that extra 48% buff
- Diona – Can replace Bennett + Mona as you can replace vaporize with melt. Provides strong shields + her C6 is an insanely good EM buff as well
- Xingqiu – His Q works great with Klee N1 > N2 > Charged combo, providing additional vaporize proc’s
- Fischl – Overloaded can be problematic due to the insane knockback, causing Klee to miss her charged attacks, but a great source of damage nonetheless (if none of the other options aren’t available to you)
- Albedo – Can be run as a burst DPS + the E is a great DPS boost for Klee (as she is very normal/charged attack dependent)
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS BELOW! I’ll try my best to respond as I know some players may not have ANY of the characters mentioned
Hope this helped. Bye.
Can you elaborate how Fischl boost attack on Klee? I’m having a hard time understanding why people are recommending her on Klee. Thanks!
I think it’s Oz that makes her good
Fischl is just a good support in general. You don’t really take her because she’s good with klee specifically. Klee’s bombs have more range so the overload knockback isn’t as bad as with other melee pyro dps. Overload is also the highest dps elemental reaction so it’s pretty good. If you add that with swirl and grouping, fischl makes for a great support. Electro in general is like an enabler element.
When klee is paired with xingqiu’s burst, who’s the one who procs the vaporize? I’m confused who I should give em to. Thanks in advance.
So Xingqiu’s Q proc has a delay, so typically it’s pyro into hydro (so Xingqiu procs it). HOWEVER, you can also delay the proc by just tossing Klee’s auto somewhere random (Xingqiu’s Q will still apply only the enemy since it auto tracks), and then you can normal attack reguarly and proc hydro then pyro (so that Klee procs EM)
Ohh, I see. Thank you very much!
would klee be okay with zhongli as a shield, barbara as a healer/vape (klee seems squishy and i have barb built for dps so she hits pretty hard) and fischl for overloaded? i could definitely replace zhongli with sucrose if it’s a little ridiculous to have a shield and a healer.
I think it doesn’t hurt to have both. Shields serve more of a purpose to help sustain through large chunks of damage, while healing is just for trickles of damage. Both serve a purpose, and I typically run Zhongli + a healer (like Bennett or Diona) myself in most teams.
If you find yourself properly distancing yourself from enemies as Klee, Zhongli will probably suffice enough (you can run Millelith on him for ATK buffs too)!
is klee,beidou,mona and qiqi a good team?
It works! You’ll just have to be a bit wary of how your reactions chain (for example overloaded will break the melt/vapo comp for Klee)
ohhh okk, should i replace beidou with someone else then? or is it fine as it is?
It should be fine as it is! You could also maybe try Xingqiu with Klee if you’ve never tried it
Oh alright then, well thank you for the help! :)) i really appreciate it!
Hi, i’m late to the post but i just got klee and im trying to build a team around her. I was thinking Klee + sucrose + qiqi + chongyun. However my chong is not built at all and i don’t know if he’s worth it.. Thanks in advance :)! i have nearly all characters so feel free to change my team haha
Heya!
I think Klee – Sucrose – Qiqi is good thus far. If you have Rosaria OR Mona, it would be even better! Rosaria can easily proc Cryo since her E CD is short, has good range/AoE, and generates quite a bit of energy. Her Q is also a solid cryo applicator as well. Mona can be great to pair since her E can taunt, apply hydro to mass groups, and then her Q can help Klee nuke.
If you don’t want either of them (or don’t have them built), Xingqiu is always a staple pick for characters like Klee who normal attack quite a bit — it allows you to proc vaporize pretty much every other normal attack/charged.
Hey yo, if I run Bennett and Xingqiu with Klee, should I build Noblesse Oblige for both of them, or is there any replacement? Noblesse Oblige 4-piece doesn’t stack but I can’t find any replacement that fits any of these boys
Xingqiu is fairly strong as an off field dps as well, 2 set hydro and 2 set noblesse is great as well and doesn’t get in the way of Bennett’s 4 set noblesse
You can run 4-set Noblesse on Bennett and 2x Noblesse + 2x Ocean Conq for Xingqiu!
